Routing codes determine where the message appears. These
codes route VTAM® and TSO/VTAM
messages to selected functional consoles. More than one routing code
may be assigned to the message. With multiple-console support, each
console operator receives only the messages related to the commands
entered at that console or to the functions assigned to that console,
regardless of the routing codes assigned to those messages. If a message
that is routed to a particular console cannot be issued at that console,
that message is issued at the master console.
See
Codes and suppression levels for the list
of messages and their codes and suppression levels.
- Code
- Meaning
- 1
- Master Console Action: This message indicates a change
in the system status, and demands action by the master console operator.
- 2
- Master Console Information: This message indicates a change
in the system status. Such a message does not demand action, but alerts
the master console operator to a condition that may require action.
This routing code is used for any message that indicates job status,
and also for processor and problem program messages to the master
console operator.
- 3
- Tape Pool: This message specifies the status of a tape
unit or reel, the disposition of a tape reel, or other tape-oriented
information. For example, a message which requests that tapes be
mounted.
- 4
- Direct Access Pool: This message specifies the status of
a direct access unit or pack, the disposition of a disk pack, or other
direct-access-oriented information. For example, a message which
requests that disks be mounted.
- 5
- Tape Library: This message specifies tape library information.
For example, a message which requests, by volume serial numbers,
that tapes be obtained for system or programmer use.
- 6
- Disk Library: This message specifies disk library information.
For example, a message which requests, by volume serial numbers,
that disk packs be obtained for system or programmer use.
- 7
- Unit Record Pool: This message specifies unit-record equipment
information. For example, a message which requests that printer trains
be mounted.
- 8
- Teleprocessing Control: This message specifies the status
or the disposition of data communication equipment. For example,
a message which indicates line errors.
- 9
- System Security: This message is associated with security
checking. For example, a message which requires a reply specifying
a password.

- System Error Maintenance: This message indicates either
a system error, or an input/output error that could not be corrected.
It also indicates a message associated with system maintenance.
- 11
- Programmer Information: This message is for the problem
programmer. This routing code is used only when the program issuing
the message has no way of routing the message to the programmer using
the system-output data set facility. The message appears in the job’s
system output message class.
Note: Messages assigned routing code
11 will default to the master console if a secondary console, specified
during the VTAM definition
process to receive these messages, is not active. The messages will
not default to the master console, however, if no secondary console
was specified to receive these messages.
- 12
- Emulators: This message is issued by an emulator program.
